About Sally Ladd

A native of Chicago and now resident of Central New Jersey, I enjoy spending time in Arrowhead Lake with my teenage children, who love to ski & swim, and boyfriend, who – like me – enjoys hiking in some of the spectacular nearby state parks. It's also a great spot for a girls' weekend. I own two properties in Arrowhead Lake and I take great pride in keeping them as clean and comfortable as possible for my guests, as well as my family. I live in Central New Jersey, 90 minutes from Arrowhead Lake. My daughter attends nearby Bloomsburg University in PA.

Sally Ladd purchased this cottage in 2009
Why Sally Ladd chose Arrowhead Lake

This home appealed to me because it had great 'bones,' and because the property is heavily treed and feels very private.

What makes this cottage unique

The home has lots of beautiful Andersen windows and a patio door, along with a very private rear deck. The house is set back from the road, making it feel secluded. I added recessed lighting in the kitchen and living room in 2011, wallpapered the kitchen while living here as a refugee from Hurricane Sandy (I reside in NJ), and continue to make improvements as the budget allows!

Only took us a few minutes to feel completely at home. The cottage is gorgeous, well-maintained and very cosy! We used all the cooking facilities with no problem whatsoever. Sausages on the barbecue in the evening, roast dinner the next day.
We loved the indoor fireplace, the patio, the area... everything was just perfect.
Thank you so much Sally! We hope to be back soon :)

For those of you who are heading to the Poconos, the Bushkill Falls are a must-do !! Just BEAUTIFUL !
Owner's Response: Thanks so much Claire for the great review! Lehigh Gorge also has some great waterfalls. You must get there on your next visit! — Sally

Great stay

Great, cozy, and comfortable location. My friends and I rented the house for three days two nights and loved it. We went as three couples and each of us had a separate area to ourselves. Great accommodations, more available in cooking and kitchen supplies than was expected and than we had seen in other rentals. All we had to buy was the food, everything else was there. We took a walk to the lake one of the nights, wonderful view.
The only thing we missed out on was the fire place, because the wood outside was all wet from the snow. On the other hand, we woke up to fresh snow :)
Sally was also always very quick to respond and helpful. We were able to settle all the paperwork four days before the trip.
Would recommend groups of more than two bring their own toiletries, but otherwise everything is there.

Great place!
Owner's Response: Sorry you weren't able to use the fireplace! I actually do't supply firewood, although sometimes other renters leave some behind. I will add this information to my listings.

As for the toiletries, one set of hotel size shampoo/conditioner/moisturizer/bar soap is supplied as a courtesy in case they forget their own. I also supply enough paper products for kitchen and bath for a 2-3 day stay.

Thanks so much for your feedback, and I hope you can return in the future!

My family and I spent 4 weeks of wonderful time. The place in very well maintained, clean, well stocked with all essentials. The location is very convenient: close to one the pools.
The owner was easily reachable: the washer was replaced with brand new one as was promised. We felt like home. In fact my boys (4 and 8) already waiting to return and looking forward to wonderful fishing, swimming, blueberry picking.
Thank you so much Ms Sally.
Sorry for the late review. Better late, than never.
Owner's Response: No problem on the delay, Oksana! Looking forward to having you back this summer!

I recently returned home after a stay at this cottage with my boyfriend for valentines day/Presidents day weekend. The home was perfect for the two of us, however, I wouldn't suggest it for multiple couples. I live in downtown Manhattan and was a tad disappointed by the square footage (or lack there of). It is the perfect size for one couple or a small family, as there are bunk beds and the second bedroom is right next to the larger bedroom so small children would be in ear shot. Great fireplace and comfy sectional couch. Perfect for relaxing after a day on the slopes.

When we arrived on Thursday evening, we came up to a driveway full of snow that had not been shoveled - to my knowledge snow had not fallen in a few days and I feel that the driveway should have been tended to prior to the arrival of new guests. In addition, and unfortunately, the stove is extremely outdated and the coils do not efficiently work. My boyfriend and I love to cook, and were disappointed to find only one coil working. The oven also runs very hot. I noticed negative comments about the stove top not working in reviews as far back as 2011. This appliance should be replaced.

Otherwise we had a very lovely trip. This home has a lot of natural light and just the right touches of home with kitchen and bathroom items to keep us comfortable. Great value for the price!
Owner's Response: OWNER'S NOTE: New stove arriving 3/1/13 ...

Megan,

I'm so sorry you had trouble with the stove. I am in the process of replacing the old electric unit with a gas stove, but this requires installation of a propane tank and line and I am also shopping for a good used stove. However, I was at the house just after your stay and 3 of the 4 burners were working. (As I mentioned to you during your stay, you sometimes have to reseat the heating elements by jiggling them before they will kick on.)

As for the size of the house, I usually tell people that 4 or 5 adults plus a child or two (depending on age) is the max I would recommend for this house. While it is not a large house, it does feel very spacious, and I have actually had parties of 7 adults stay there without issue. (I would feel crowded with that many in the house but it doesn't seem to bother some people!)

I had no idea about the driveway and I wish you had told me about it, since I pay someone to plow it whenever there is more than a couple of inches of snow. I will make sure to mention it to him.

I will be sending you an e-mail with something to help make up for your trouble. Glad you enjoyed your stay anyway and hope you will return after I get the new stove installed! — Sally
